We investigated an osmotic remedial mutant of Saccharomyces which was deficient in galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase. Both the rate of growth and the transferase activity of the mutant culture were dependent on the osmotic activity of the growth medium. Organic and ionic solutes proved to be equally effective in inducing the osmotic remedial response. The galactose pathway enzymes were s...

Findings suggest that corporate social responsibility may be better examined through homeorhe...

However, an existing framework used to select remedial alternatives lacks multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) aids and does not consider uncertainty in the selection of alternatives. The objective of this paper is to improve the existing framewo...
